Why Buyers Need to be Present at Home Inspections
Occasionally one of my buyers in Wexford will tell me they don't want to do a home inspection. They think that the property looks pretty good and they just want to waive the inspection. This is not always the case. 

As a realtor, I must explain to my clients that on the surface a home might look good, but a home inspector will reveal issues that could cost you thousands after closing. Some examples would be mold, broken furnaces, or issues with the foundation of the home. 

My advice to my buyers in Wexford would be to hire a professional home inspector so you can address any issues with the home during the contingency period. In addition, you should write a short list of things that you want the inspector to take a close look at, and you should also have the seller's disclosure for review.

It is always recommended that the buyer be present for the inspection. This way you can ask the inspector any questions necessary and you will have more certainty over what is going on with your potential home. If you're not present when the inspection occurs you may feel left out of the picture, and you will probably have a lot of questions about the process. It's just better to be present for a home inspection.

If you need a good home inspector in the Wexford area, contact me and I could recommend one to you. 

Also, if you have any questions about this topic, be sure to contact me via phone or email. I am always willing to sit down and discuss your situation with you. Also, be sure to contact me for all of your Wexford real estate needs.

Thanks for tuning in!

  1. I might discover no evidence throughout my inspection that whatever had induced the basement to leak beforehand had been addressed.
